"Who the hell are you?" Hijikata called out to the woman.
"Why I am Uzuri the Succubus of course." The woman smirked at the two men and crossed her arms under her chest to fully show off her very large plot. "Surely even a planet such as this has heard of the most beautiful woman in the universe?"
"Sorry but no." Tsukuyo drew her kunai and glared at the woman.
"Well that's too bad. Why don't I teach ya'll?" She laughed and quickly threw out something from her sleeves. The three in front of her prepared for the worst she only threw small little pink hearts that landed at their feet.
Gintoki looked carefully at the object on the ground before cursing under his breath. "Shit. I thought I was done with this."
The hearts suddenly started smoking and the three tried to cover their noses but the sweet smelling smoke got in before they could do anything. "Aizen Kou?" Tsukuyo asked with fear. "How did you get your hands on this?"
"Oh don't be so scared dear. I modified it a little so it only affects men and makes them little more than mindless slaves. Isn't that right boys?" She held her hands out in front of her and Gintoki and Hijikata instantly were down on one knee before her.
"What?" The Hyakka leader quickly got angry and threw kunai at Uzuri. Before they could touch her Hijikata and Gintoki deflected them with ease.
"Hmm. Let's see here." Uzuri stroked the chins of the two in front of her and smiled at Tsukuyo. "Which do you want to kill you?"
Tsukuyo stiffened and prepared to throw some more kunai. "Why don't you shut up and just let me kill you."
"Go." Was all she had to say before Gintoki rushed at the scarred woman. She was barely able to block Gintoki's attack and was knocked back with ease.
"Gintoki! Fight her control! You promised me we'd hurt them together!" She screamed before the silver samurai continued his attack with a blank expression.
A loud laugh came from the other woman as she struggled to fight Gintoki without injuring him. The real problem was that Gintoki was not holding back and so Tsukuyo had to fight her hardest just to hold him back. "It looks like I got lucky on the first try. You two seem very close. I can't wait to see if he will react when he kills you. Some strong willed one's do. But only if I let them."
"You bitch." Tsukuyo was able to breath out. She tried to throw more kunai at her but Gintoki rapped her wrist before she threw it causing her to drop it. She cried out in pain before retreating some more.
The woman just kept laughing evilly at the fight while making Hijikata become a chair to sit on. Tsukuyo just kept up her struggle against the overwhelming strength of the Shiroyasha. At one moment they paused with their blades crossed and their faces close, "Please Gintoki. Snap out of it." She begged him.
He kept his blank stare before quickly spinning his blade to knock her's away before grabbing her by the throat. She cried out and tried to fight his hand but he easily lifted her up and threw her against the nearby wall.
Tsukuyo looked up at the approaching silver haired samurai with dizzy red vision. She tried to stand up but he kicked her down again.
"Go ahead." Uzuri smiled with her blood red lips. "Kill her."
Gintoki raised his sword above the fallen woman and brought it down towards her head. Tsukuyo saw her death coming towards her and felt her final tears coming. She closed her eyes and tried to be brave but couldn't hold her tears in.
After a few seconds of still being alive though she opened her eyes in confusion to see Gintoki grabbing his right wrist with his left, not letting his sword drop any farther. "Shit. It seems like that is what does it." He muttered down to her with a strained smile.
"Gintoki." She whispered in relief and joy.
"What are you doing? Kill her already!" Uzuri cried out, jumping to her feet.
"Like hell I'll listen to you." Gintoki turned around with careful and slow precision as though his body was fighting against himself. He forced himself into a fighting stance this time standing over Tsukuyo to protect her.
Uzuri only tsked. "Kill them both then." Hijikata stood up and prepared a fighting stance as well. The two samurai stared each other down before both charging in, fighting as fast as the eye could follow.
The fighting did not last long as Hijikata kicked Gintoki into a wall and he struggled to get back up. "It is quite impressives you are able to resist me but it is useless." Uzuri said. "Your body is still trying to follow my orders and so you can't fight with any of your strength."
Gintoki gritted his teeth and forced himself to his feet as Hijikata came for him. Before he reached him though, kunai flew at him and scraped his arm and legs. "You are forgetting I can still fight." The thrower of the kunais said with a hard look in her eyes.
Tsukuyo and Gintoki continued to fight against Hijikata but with Gintoki still struggling for control of his body, Tsukuyo's injuries, and neither trying to kill him the fight was slowly going in the mindless slave's direction.
HIjikata blocked Gintoki's blade before stabbing through his shoulder and kicking him away before turning towards the approaching Tsukuyo with kunai flying from her hands. He deflected some and let others go he knew would miss before knocking her back as well.
"You might as well give up if you are going to fight like that." The controller of Hijikata said with pure contempt. "He is fighting at his very best and you will not be able to touch him while trying not to harm him. I do hope the rest of his police force are like him. I love my men strong and mindless."
The two just gritted their teeth and continued to try and subdue Hijikata. They got some good hits on him but he got just as many on them. Gintoki kept slowing down the more he got hit until eventually when he was knocked down he didn't get up. Tsukuyo quickly threw a kunai into Hijikata's leg and ran over to Gintoki.
"Come on. Get up Gintoki. You are stronger than her." She reached out her hands to him but he batted them away.
"No." He was forcibly making his hands relax and not pick up his sword. "I'm sorry but I can't fight it any more."
She was barely able to jump back before he swung at her. Uzuri laughed again as he got to his feet. "I told you that you could not resist me. Go ahead! Tell me how wonderful I am!"
"You are so wonderful mistress." The two men said in monotone voices. Tsukuyo breathed heavily as she watched them stand next to each other again. Her hope with Gintoki helping her just fell apart.
"Oh don't be so dead." She scoffed at her two slaves. "You are talking to the woman you love you know. Now hurry up and kill her I am getting bored."
Tsukuyo prepared for the incoming attack and Gintoki took a couple of slow steps towards her obviously still fighting her influence.
Hijikata on the other hand had not moved and was muttering to himself. "The woman I love? No. No You aren't her."
"Hmm? What was that? I didn't tell you to speak but to kill her."
"I said you aren't the woman I love." Hijikata spat before turning quickly and stabbing the seductress through the chest. "But if you see her over there tell her I said hi."
Tsukuyo and Gintoki watched in shock as he pulled the sword out of her and her body collapsed backwards. Gintoki felt an instant relief to his body that told him he was back in control again.
"You." Gintoki breathed out. "You were able to break her control too?"
Hijikata turned towards the silver samurai and gave him a smile in answer. He was just able to figure out something big about that deadbeat samurai. He smiled at Tsukuyo as well since it was good news for her before wiping the blood off of his sword and turning back towards the ongoing tunnel. "Come on. You guys make good distractions so I can take them out."
"Shut it mayora. If you weren't here we would have easily taken her out since it took you twice as long to break her spell." Gintoki retorted but followed behind him anyways. He had a slight smile on his face as well especially since he never realized what Hijikata had about himself.
Tsukuyo only sighed as the two devolved into more insults and yelling. The three walked down into the seemingly endless tunnel in great spirits considering they almost died but it seems like that is a daily occurrence now.
I realized I might really suck at writing fight scenes but oh well. Next one is the one you have been waiting for. Gorilla vs. Gorilla and friends!
